Lonzo Ball has impressed LeBron James with how he makes an impact without scoring

Late in Thursday night’s Los Angeles Lakers victory over the Indiana Pacers, a miracle occurred. The game was on the line, time was dwindling, the team needed a win, Lonzo Ball was on the court, and the world didn’t implode. Crazy, fascinating stuff, really.

LeBron James was impressed by what he saw last night, and what he’s noticed over the course of his first season playing alongside the second-year rookie.

“Zo is a unique basketball player where him putting the ball in the hole doesn’t define what he does out on the floor or the impact that he makes,” James told reporters after the game.
